tiny terrors
stitched in between light walls

don’t wait for kindness to reward you, 
or for broken systems to apologize.

Cheeky baby swagger

...Coocoo doodle I do,
Not every day I coo,

When our bodies refuse to meet our intentions,
Those top shelf items you simply can't reach,
The ones at the bottom inaccessibly deep!

...Sand cool and gritty underfoot,
Pebbles here and there,
The odd shell peeking out,
The beach can be a wonderful place,
It its treated right.

Buried in the sand are hidden dangers,
Broken glas...
